Vintage Miniature Statuette - Laxmi

This miniature copper alloy statuette depicts Goddess Lakshmi from Karnataka in her traditional iconography. She stands in a calm, upright posture, holding a partially opened lotus in her left hand, symbolising purity and spiritual unfolding. Her right hand rests gently by her side, understated yet balanced. A horizontal belt runs across her chest, and she is adorned with subtle traces of ornamentation — earrings, armlets, anklets, and a tall peaked headdress. Time and devotion have softened her features, but the figure retains an aura of grace and quiet divinity. The surface is marked by a soft, aged patina, adding depth and warmth. Though small in size, the piece carries a timeless presence — a devotional object shaped by ritual, age, and reverence.
